Venezuelan Detainees in El Salvador Cry for Freedom

In a compelling video by One America News Network, Venezuelan detainees in an El Salvador high-security prison are seen pleading for freedom. These individuals, alleged by the Trump administration to be part of the Tren de Aragua gang, were deported in March under questionable circumstances.

Former U.S. lawmaker Matt Gaetz, alongside Representative Anna Paulina Luna, toured the prison, highlighting the controversial deportations of these Venezuelans. With limited information and no communication, families are left in emotional turmoil, desperate for clarity and justice for their loved ones.

Despite the gravity of the situation, both the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the White House have refrained from commenting on the matter, leaving families and the public in uncertainty.
